Reading is one of our favorite parts of the day. (In fact, if we don’t get independent reading time each day, Mr. Salsich will probably start to hear rumblings of a revolt!) Being able to pick our own books to read is what makes reading time so much fun.
Sharing the books we enjoy is also an important part of our reading time. Usually we just do this by using an iPad to project the book cover and special passages onto our Smartboard and share the reasons we like the book.

Now we are going to start recording short videos to share book recommendations with more people. These will be called “Fireside Book Chats.” Our first one is about the Newberry Medal winning book The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. The hosts for this episode are “Joe Manly” and “Mustache Man.”
